EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the resilience and faith of Mrs. Hull as she diligently dries corn in Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon. In this image, we see a glimpse into the daily life of a woman determined to support her son's education at Bible school. The setting is an underground cellar or storm shelter that serves as both a kitchen and storage space for Mrs. Hull's crops. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the harsh realities faced during the Great Depression. As Mrs. Hull tends to her corn harvest with unwavering dedication, we can sense her belief in Christianity shining through every gesture. Her hope lies in selling enough dried corn to provide financial assistance for her son's educational journey. Dorothea Lange captures not only the economic struggles but also the strength derived from religious conviction during this challenging period in American history. Through this still image preserved by Heritage Art Images and housed within the Library of Congress' collection, we are transported back to an era marked by recession and uncertainty. Lange's powerful composition reminds us of our shared heritage while shedding light on individual stories that shaped America during one of its most trying times.
